Hey, sorry it's been so long. I have been having a lot of computer trouble lately (turns out three of the capacitors in my old computer had overloaded and started leaking onto the motherboard =$) but now I have a new computer so all is well. Enjoy.

"Izumo! Nice transformation jutsu." The bell rings as I change back. "Well done. You'll be a fine ninja." I look over at the door. The fluff covered head of my best friend appears around the ede of the door. "Izumo!"
"Kotetsu!" We hug in a manly 8 year old embrace. "You wanna go get some ramen?" His hair bounces as we walk. "Sure do." We run towards the ramen stall...

"Izumo!" Kotetsu's pain-filled voice echoes. "You hungry?" I get up to see him up and walking though clearly in pain. "You shouldn't be up Kotetsu. You need rest."
"I'm done resting. I need to be outside, training, so next time I can kill that bastard good." I can't help but laugh, "Kill that bastard good?" He laughs but his laughter is ended by the surging pain cauing him to tightly grip his stomach. "Kotetsu, you need rest. At least untill tomorrow."
"But Izumo I can't. I have to be doing things. I can't just lay around aiting to get better. I need to be outside, training, strengthening myself and my jutsu's." I look at my best friend. His eyes beg me to take him somewhere and I just can't say no. "Fine. How about some food?"
"A bowl of sweet pea soup sounds great."
"Come on then."

"Kotetsu! They let you out already?" Asuma asks as he sits down next to us. "Izumo's a push over but still, I'd rather be training." He glares at me. "Kotetsu, no, you're not going out to train."
"Izumo is right. You need to let your body heal first." Kotetsu doesn't reply. "Come on, let's head back before Lady Hokage realizes your gone."
"Bye Asuma-sensei."
"Get well soon Kotetsu." Asuma starts at his ramen.
